Trying to re-enter society is difficult and complicated by a community that is far from forgiving. In the trailer, Davis is among those judging, telling her white husband (presumably) who had expressed empathy for Slater: “She killed somebody in cold blood! If that were your black sons in the system, they would be dead.”

Slater, desperate for redemption, attempts to locate her estranged younger sister whom she was forced to leave behind.
